Fortunately, I will be buying a new custom built PC soon and I will try to install Windows 7, Mountain Lion and Xubuntu on it.I don't have many options as you cannot find many pieces of hardware over here, however using guide found on hackintosh.com, I think I have found the optimal PC I can build with it.

I was wondering if this PC would be capable of running Mountain Lion...Also, this is my first attempt at a Hackintosh system, so I have to ask that:Will I be able to access networks through ethernet cables fine, or is it mandatory to get a WiFi adapter card to?

Well having set numerous dual / triple boots up this would be my recommended set-up:

Your main OS on an SSD then the other 2 on small partitions on your HDD - ideally keep windows and OS X on different drives, ubuntu is happy to go anywhere.
Then a large data partition formatted as whatever your main OS would require (NTFS for windows, HFS for OS X) and the other operating systems user areas linked / moved to the data HDD.

Note: If you use OS X as your main OS you can move its entire user area over to a different partition then just point windows & ubuntu to the folder on that partition - that's the way I like to do it.

Approximate partition sizes unless you're using some seriously big pieces of software / games you'll have more than enough with:
OS X: 100Gb
Ubuntu: 50Gb
Windows 7: 150Gb
(ideally you'd have an SSD for each OS but that gets expensive quickly and is a bit overkill)
